If they want to sell, then why sell to the one with the lower price?

How rich is Fox's IP resources at hand?

Even Disney, which acquired Marvel, has always been obsessed with the IPs that Fox and Paramount have in hand.

As Disney, who has risen to prominence by relying on superheroes, knows the power of superheroes very well.

Time Warner won't use it, and there's no reason why the empty DC II can't exert its power.

But Paramount's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Transformers" series are definitely super IPs comparable to the Marvel Universe. And the "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" series on Fox are also super IPs that once overwhelmed the Avengers.

Although Hollywood is big, there are only a few opponents who can compete with Marvel in superheroes.

In addition to the impossible DC, Disney has actually been laying out to reclaim all the superheroes.

In this way, superhero films will become exclusive to Disney.

This will also be the undefeated foundation of Disney.

Xu Yuan can shoot "Forrest Gump", "This Killer is Not Too Cold", and "Benjamin", but Xu Yuan will never be able to shoot "The Avengers", "X-Men", and "Transformers".

It's not that Xu Yuan won't, it's that he doesn't have a copyright.

Once the copyright recovery is completed, Disney will prevent anyone from overtaking them at the root.

And that's just the copyright implications.

In a practical sense, if Disney acquires Fox Films, it will greatly promote Disney's monopoly of global films. This will be a huge disaster for film companies, film practitioners and fans around the world.

In all fairness, if Fox is really going to sell the company, Time Warner is the first choice. Because at present, only Time Warner is qualified to wrestle with Disney, although they have not been very smooth in recent years.

It's a pity that Time Warner was too insincere and took Fox for a fool.

Of course, the second choice is not Disney.

In order to block the Fox monopoly process, there will be a lot of tycoons entering the market, which is the best opportunity for outsiders to get involved in Hollywood. Under normal circumstances, people will exclude others from entering the industry, which is narrow industry protectionism.

But not now, because it is obviously a better choice to let fresh blood in than Disney's monopoly.

As long as Fox wants to, he can find a suitable buyer.

That's what Fox had planned to do before.

But after meeting Iger, Fox changed his mind.

Perhaps, buying it for your own friends is a good choice.

At the very least, he still has a chance to help him defeat Xu Yuan, doesn't he?

Think of it as the final blow you gave Xu Yuan.

Fox Building.

Fox made a phone call: "Hey, Wilkinson, I need a lot of money right now!"

If Xu Yuan is here, he will be very familiar with this name.

"Brother, what the hell is going on with you, you still haven't paid back all the money you owe?" Wilkinson was furious.

"I have money, but I need to get through this. As long as you get through this, I can give you anything. Fox panicked.

He's tormented right now.

Obviously, if you get through it, you can return to normal, but he just can't get through this level. For example, he has a chicken that lays golden eggs, because of this thing, he borrowed a lot of money, and in fact, in the process of betting against Xu Yuan, he invested a lot of money under the bewitchment of Disney.

Most of these funds are borrowed.

And now, he has to pay it back.

Although these amounts of money are as high as billions, they are not high compared to the chickens that lay golden eggs.

But those people knew that Fox couldn't come up with the money, so they wanted this chicken that laid golden eggs.

So, if you can't take out billions, then Fox will lose tens of billions of companies. If he really sells the company, even if he sells one or two hundred billion, he will not have much money at all.

What's more, he also lost his life's foundation and the opportunity to win global films.

Survive the past, and the future will be the CEO of the 100 billion group.

If you can't get through it, you will be forced to sell the company and retire with more than a billion yuan.

This seems to others to be a sum of money that cannot be used up in a lifetime, but in the eyes of Fawkes, it is like the greatest irony, and it will mock him for the rest of his life.

"But you've made it through, brother!" said Wilkinson, "I'll tell you the truth, there's something wrong with the funding behind me, and I really don't have any money for you here." And, I hope you can make up the numbers on my side quickly, I'm afraid that if it's too late, I won't get the money!"

"Don't wait for me to do it, okay Fox, we're friends, you know my methods, I don't want to do this to my friends, it's too hurtful. ”

Wilkinson voluntarily hung up.

"Motherfucker!" Fox angrily smashed the table.

Last year, filming of "Return to Earth" was halted due to a lack of funds. If Fox had stopped at that time, it might have hurt the foundation, but it wouldn't be irreparable.

But unfortunately, at that time, Fox came into contact with Wilkinson and received a lot of money from Wilkinson, so he was free for another year.

I thought that I would definitely win this year with "Return to Earth" and "Dark Phoenix", and then I would be able to pay off everything, and everything would be good after the turnaround. As a result, who would have thought that the bottoms that were lost this time were gone.

Without Wilkinson, Fox would have been defeated a long time ago, but it could have made a comeback.

With Wilkinson, although Fox extended his life for an extra year and retained a trace of suspense, the price he paid was unknowingly dragged into the abyss.

"Ugh......" Fox sighed.

Looking at Iger's number on the screen, Fox finally pressed it.

……

"So, you're saying that Iger has been setting up a bureau for Fox?" Meng Xiaoxuan was talking to Xu Yuan on the phone to find out about Xu Yuan's condition.

She is very interested in the current changes in Hollywood.

She also has a strong understanding ability and quickly grasps the context.

Xu Yuan nodded: "Last year, someone made trouble in my crew, and I found them, and their leader was Wilkinson, a neighborhood bully in the United States." It was Fox who found them, and they had a good relationship. ”

"But I'm keenly aware that Wilkinson's relationship with Fox is not pure. After verification, it was found that Fox had a large amount of funds in the account at the end of the year, and the source was actually Wilkinson. ”

Meng Xiaoxuan frowned: "It's not that Fox gave Wilkinson money and asked him to make trouble, but that Wilkinson is the backer of Fox?

"Well, I asked your aunt to track down the source of the funds behind Wilkinson, and found an investment bank on Wall Street. It was a branch of Satan, and Wilkinson was actually a member of Satan, and they were working with other Satanic organizations to fund Fox. Xu Yuandao, "At first, I thought that Fox was also owned by Satan, otherwise why would Satan give Fox money?"

"But while tracking down Wilkinson's funds, your aunt discovered that Wilkinson had secret financial dealings with another company. ”

Meng Xiaoxuan replied: "It's Disney? Disney is giving Wilkinson money, and then asking Wilkinson to give it to Fox, and Fox will continue to launch the film project if it has sufficient funds." And the debt grows as a result until it exceeds Fox's ability to repay?"

Xu Yuan affirmed.

This was also his conjecture.

Disney and Satan both want to go together, and both use Wilkinson to seduce Fox.

It's just that Satan's original small base was served by Xu Yuan, so there was no follow-up.

But Disney's side was more secretive, and it was not an illegal act, but a covert commercial off-market move, so it evaded Meng Ceng'er's tracking.

Even if Xu Yuan later learned about Disney's plan, Xu Yuan never led to it.

Because with this news, he can fully rob Disney for a wave.

Asking Disney to give "Benjamin" legendary fame was just an appetizer.

Disney will pay an even bigger price later.

Fox may not have dreamed that his closest comrades-in-arms and his worst enemies had long since signed a friendly cooperation agreement.
